that seems to be the case for most people on here. I love both shows but at least most of us all share a love for Duckula.

You know what is really weird. It has been about the same amount of time since CD and filmation He-Man were on. Yet I remember CD as if it was yesterday and totally forgot about HM. I only remembered the toys and it was the 2002 MYP series that brought me here.

I have always loved silly spookiness, Transylvanian atmosphere, ducks, ketchup, the color green, and '80s toons. So it's only natural I will have to love "Count Duckula"! Can't wait to get some discs!

And wolfsfang, today is the first day I have read your name correctly...up until now, I always read it as "wolfsgang" )

Yeah a lot of people seem to have that problem with my name but I tend to laugh it off.

Oh and while all this Ducky talk is great (I know I'm enjoying it) don't forget about DM. After all without the DangerMouse show there would be no Count Duckula.

Here are some random quotes from Count Duckula for the simple reason they are funny

Count Duckula: [about Nanny's slamming of silverware at people] Last time, you killed three chambermaids and a footman!
Nanny: Oh, they was only part-time, sir! And the little blond one never dusted the pictures rails!

Count Duckula: Spain, huh? Do they have any rain there?
Igor: Mainly on the plain.

Count Duckula: Now if I say we go on the rollercoaster, we go on the rollercoaster, you too, Nanny.
Nanny: Oooh no, I-I think I'll stay here and watch Mr. Igor take his head off.
Count Duckula: Now look, I don't want to pull rank... but if you're not over by that rollercoaster in two seconds, I'll stand here... and... I'll sing.
Count Duckula: [Nanny and Igor run off] I'm employing a couple of philistines.
Igor: Phyllis Stein? Isn't that Gertrude's sister?

No I didn't, but I am sure I will love the 'toon. In fact, I don't even want to watch the clip because I want to experience "Count Duckula" fresh from the beginning. The whole opening segment you posted just has me psyched that this is totally "my cup of ketchup".

I'll definitely let you know my comments on the series when I get the first season in my hot little (well, kinda big, lol) hands!

dangermouse....

finally re watching a little of this form my complete DVD set....

I forgot how good this show was. Sure, the animation was almost non existent, the VA for DM provided double duty as the announcer, and later count duckula. But it was fun as hell, and it stuck with you for years.

Was it as popular over the pond as it was in the states? thank you nick for importing the good shows .....

I absolutely adore both Dangermouse and Count Duckula tho if anyone asked me to pick a favourite...after I poked them in the eye for suggesting one was inferior to the other...I would have to say Count Duckula.

Man, I haven't seen these in AGES. I used to watch both in the morning before I left for school...had to be early elementary. Can't remember a lick of the humor, though; just that I used to watch them. I also associate something called Banana Man with those two...? Can't think why. Anyone know what that is?

Anyway, maybe youtube has some of these. I'm sure I remember Dangermouse used to crack me up.

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.

My theory is that the Count Duckula that Dangermouse faced was the father / prior incarnation (he actually admits that he is own father) of the Count Duckula from the Count Duckula cartoon when he was an actual vampire

I will say that I LOVED Danger Mouse back in my childhood days. However, after picking up the 1st 2 of the 4 DVD sets here in the US, I am sorry to say that it doesn't stand the test of time on my end.
